Mom's Camping Kit

We have done a lot of camping this summer. Bear and Bug just love it and they’re at the age where they’re both reasonably fun to take out into the wilderness. I saw a great idea on Pinterest and knew that with all these trips, I’d have to try it.

The idea: Mom’s Camping Kit (seriously, this woman is BRILLIANT)

The verdict: I like the idea so much, I just might duplicate it at home!

My packing list is here. Obviously, this is just one year's accumulation. Emily, at Abide with Me (where I got the idea, linked above) has a much more extensive kit. Also, what you have would obviously depend on your family, the length of the trip, specific medical needs, etc. For example, we don't really have ticks or poisonous snakes here. If you did, you might want something in case of a tick/snake emergency. But this is a starting point.

Oh, and I forgot my last rule. No one touches it but me! Happy Camping!

Panther Creek

We went camping this last weekend with Mama’s family at Panther Creek Campground. We drove in and reserved a site that ended up being perfect, but that was not available to reserve online.

Perhaps in the future we can reserve it by phone. In any case, the kids both did amazingly well with the fluid schedule and lack of toys and Papa and I even got a few relaxing minutes to ourselves!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little Bear spent hours playing with her princesses and faeries in a tiny village that Papa and I built…

…while Bug Bug just LOVED crawling around the campsite and exploring everything. With his mouth.
